Perhaps the only negative side-effect from the Kawhi Leonard trade, which indirectly helped the Toronto Raptors bring home the first championship in franchise history, was the fact that DeMar DeRozan had to be sent to the San Antonio Spurs. One of the best players in franchise history was unceremoniously dumped and sent to The Alamo.
DeRozan was a four-time All-Star that helped the Raptors become a perennial playoff team after years of futility, but the former USC star was flipped out West in a way that irreparably damaged his relationship with president Masai Ujiri.
